Firemen stand and watch a man's home burn to the ground, and do... nothing.
I don't know if Olbermann's attempts to link this to Tea Party philosophy is valid; it seems that most Tea Partiers believe there should be some taxpayer-funded services (state and local level, of course), like, say putting out fires. But that aside... firemen standing and watching a home burn to the ground? At some point, wouldn't you expect a bit of conscience and decency to kick in?
